The Little Free Library Near Mulberry #14934 has had some updates. The Big Red Book Barn now has a Big Red Book House to match it. These two libraries hold a HUGE selection of kid’s books, board books, learn to read and chapter books. The yellow house is sporting a fresh coat of paint, some weatherstripping and is now posted with the others holding a great selection of adult books. The other houses and barn will be getting some fresh paint, a few new doors and weatherstripping. Mother Nature is tough here in South Dakota. Many thanks to Cathy B for donating the Big Red Book House and Beth P and Theresa B for the fantastic book donations. All libraries are fully stocked with new books. Stop by and check out the upgrades. Happy Reading!

What Dan Read - nice article about a man and his love of reading and visiting the library.

What Dan Read - nice article about a man and his love of reading and visiting the library.

“My dad, Dan Pelzer, died July 1 at the age of 92, leaving me the list of the thousands of books he read since 1962. ALL of his books were Columbus Metropolitan Library books.

Nobody loved the library more than Dan. When we were little, he took us to the downtown library every Saturday morning and enrolled us in every summer reading program. He was a regular at the Livingston and then Whitehall branches until he could no longer read. I'm sure he would be among your highest circulation and longest term borrowers.

We thought about printing the list to distribute at his funeral, but it was too long.

In his obituary, we suggested that people read ‘a real page turner’ in lieu of flowers.”



Dan Pelzer spent a lifetime in the library. His daughter shared this message with us, and archived his reading legacy online.
